It has been 25 years ago Porsche Carrera GT The first model was surprised by the world first with its carbon -covered body and V10. Now, in 2025, the car that was re -defined by the supercar form once returned to the spotlight, not on the sidewalk, but in the fabric and thread.
The Porsche was again included with Arthur Car, the Paris -based creativity behind L’Art de l’outomobile, to launch a limited capsule set to celebrate the twenty -fifth anniversary of Carrera GT. Low lands in September, and if the past is any indicator, it will not last long.
KAR vision of CGT Vueses Motorsport Purity with street energy, translated the Carrera GT core into clothes and accessories that construct speed, design and rebellion. But this story passes deeper than clothes, and Kale, this personality.
“Since its launch, Carrera GT has always been my favorite car. It is not just a machine, it is a bout of innovation, design and pure passion.” Arthur Car.
It is not wrong because Carrera GT was not just another halo car, but a symbol of the instinct of Porsche’s survival. Weighting to the beginning of the millennium, more specifically, the Paris Motor Show, September 28, 2000. When Porsche was amazed by the world with a preferred model, it passed in just four months.
The car on the platform? The concept of V10 Carbon embodiment is built around the Le Mans engine and Racecar engine and technology. It was not supposed to be the initial model, designed under Horst Marchart and designer designer Harm Lagaay, and the dynamics that anything but the hero of the World Rallly Phustlic and Works Works, Walter Röhrl, is a production car. But the demand was immediate and overwhelming.
This urgency also came at a time when Porsche needed him. In the early 1990s, Porsche was in trouble. The sales decreased, and the squad was advancing in aging, and the company was bleeding the money, and they started even in building cars for other auto manufacturers: hence here it came Mercedes Benz 500E and Audi RS2 Avant. But a few major projects have transformed Tide for the german Marque: The Glyware Generation Boxster, 996 Generation 911, and Cayenne SUV.
These models have helped to update the brand and install their financial resources, and without their success, there He was It was not Carrera GT. This new momentum, associated with the unexpected popularity of the initial model Carrera GT, eventually gave Porsche confidence in Greenlight what many people today consider the last of the corresponding Supercar player in all ages, to produce the series.
The final production version of Carrera GT, which was unveiled in 2003 and was built in Leipzig, was basically a road race race. It was characterized by a 5.7 -liter V10 V10 producing 612 hp, carbon fiber structure, internal pushrod suspension, ceramic brakes, and a clutch that limits brutal.
There are no glory matches, nor will they control the traction that will also gain the reputation of being a “widow maker” in the modern era, a title that has been given famous for 930 Turbo. Just a raw mechanical purity complemented by a six -speed manual manual gearbox, dates back to the 917 race. Although it has skillfully demanded, it is equivalent and continues to reward drivers by feeding raw feedbacks and marha in the other world of high PowerPant V10. He said everything and did, with tires dedicated to the modern environment that Porsche developed with Michelin last year, CGT is safer than ever.
Arthur Car gets this, and his relationship with Porsche returns back. Car was born in Lebanon and grew up in Paris, a mechanic began in Sonoto Levalua, Porsche’s agent.
“Arthur brings a unique creative vision for everything he touches. He understands his workshop not only as a car maker, but as a cultural force.” Stefan Boucher, CEO of Porsche Lifestyle Group.
L’RT de l’utomobile later launched in 2012 as a rare car agency, then distorted its worship into a fashion brand in 2017. Previous cooperation with Porsche, such as 968 L’Art in 2021 As Tokyo’s capsule in 2023, it changed the lines between art, performance and street style. Now, with Carrera GT capsule, KAR turns nostalgia into an art that can be worn.
